Petfinder.com Not petfinder.com ietmaritza.tara19@yahoo.com and Steven Coe, both purportedly from Lincoln, Neb., will try to adopt a sweet pet for their child's birthday, willing to pay finder's fee, shipping, cost Adopt a pet scam, Internet

I offered a young cat for adoption for a minimal fee, as suggested by pet agencies, and left description, etc., on Petfinder.com

My response came from a woman, who wrote in broken English about wanting to adopt it. Her second communication said that she - maritza.tara@yahoo.com and her husband, Steven coe, were from Lincoln, Neb., and they would provide fee, another amount for my services, shipping, etc., (details to come, through her husband) to adopt this little cat for their daughter's birthday. They wanted bank information to start off. Strongly suspected a scam and broke off communications with a "no."
